1984 Ninety brake bleeding question
hurbie replied to MajShanman's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
bleed everything and start with the one that's furtest away from the master cilinder . -
the plan is to fit them to the Eurover project 🙂

hello all , i just got hold of these side panels , are these rare to find ? i have never seen closed 88" sidepanels without the rear quarter glass . everything looks factory made
-
if i had to do this , i would look for a truck repair buisines , they have much more capable stuf for getting chassis straight again (a much more comon fault on HGV tractor /trailers )
-
first job is making sure the breathers work as they should do .... a blocked breather makes a gearbox/differential leak .... and not all 230's need a sleeved casing when leaking from the o-ring ....sometimes a new o-ring will seal it for a long time .

The "Pass the Bucket" 4x4 For Sale on Ebay Thread
hurbie replied to Hybrid_From_Hell's topic in International Forum
according to the text , the chassis got extended : The 1969 body was repainted by piece and assembled onto a 2018 Jeep chassis extended by 16” to fit the wheel wells -
it looks exactly like the chassis of the Eurover project ..... (that was from Scotland as wel ..)
-
some used newspapers , apply a thick coating of bodycoating and your good to go ....

Electrical help re solar panel and over voltage
hurbie replied to Jocklandjohn's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
no to sure what battery's youre running , but 14.8 seems to be pretty high for a lead acid battery , most you read is 14.4 to max 14.7 but maybee you have different battery's and i'm talking nonsens 😉 -
Glue/epoxy/sticky stuff - magnetic drain plugs
hurbie replied to Gazzar's topic in Tools and Fabrication
or just visit your local MAN truck dealer and buy a axle drain plug with the magnet installed 😉 (there the same thread as far as i can see) -
it could be country specific , in the netherlands the wiring has to be "invisible" routed within the factory loom .
-
if you want it to be certified , speak to the guy who does the certifing before wiring everything , there are rules how certain connections need to be made , and how wire's need to be tied in the vehicle loom. this save's you some time doing parts over because the don't meet "standards"

Defender fuel tank leaks - better replacement yet?
hurbie replied to roamingyak's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
could it be that the tank breaks because you don't have the cradle installed ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285396390718?chn=ps&_ul=GB&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-169684-531343-4&mkcid=2&itemid=285396390718&targetid=293946777986&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9063941&poi=&campaignid=20649934318&mkgroupid=153764631759&rlsatarget=pla-293946777986&abcId=&merchantid=6995734&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwMqvBhCtARIsAIXsZpbOA0u2F2CVXYJmRMyUd5C_aHPIUm7eB1zMwBBbtxnZlRlyX71z-bEaAheEEALw_wcB -
do you happen to know wich one's you got ?
-
there's not much you can tell by lookng at bore's .... you have to measure them to know what to fix . on the Eurover 200tdi the bore's had no crosshatching left on a couple of spots , but measured to be good enough for another round of standard rings with a good hone to get the cross hatch patern back .... (since i did a full rebuild i opted for a oversize with new piston's). so just borrow a decent cilinder measure set and know what to do ....
